Hi everyone, I hope your days are going well. What's bringing you delight these days? I've been under the weather for the last few days, but I was able to make a card just for fun.
A background piece that I had made was still on my desk, it was an adventure in ink blending and a background stamp that I shared with you recently, HERE. I chose some colors of card stock and played a bit with a new die.
All in all, it was a fun process although I feel this turned out a bit quirky and that's OK! Getting a good photo is still taking trial and error in my new setup and these shades weren't cooperating. The die is Spring Bloom Inlay by Kristina Werner for C9th. The colored strip is inked with Dox inks. I blended a bit of ink on the leaves for a second hue and assembled the bloom on cream card stock. A bit of shimmer was added but it's a bit hard to see.
I look forward to another go with the inlay die. The sentiment is a favorite from Penny Black's Love Big transparent stamps.
That's it for me today! See you next time!
Be yourself
Have delight in your craft
Make something beautiful!

This is beautiful, Cindy! I love the two toned flower and leaves. Great use of the die cuts. Thanks so much for sharing with us at A Cut Above's October Challenge.
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty. Thanks for the love on my blog.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to see you here again, Cindy, but sorry you haven't been feeling well. I hope you're on the mend. Creating such a pretty card as this has to make you feel better. I love inlay and it's great how C&9th gives you a base die for the pieces of this sweet flower. Your background blending is seamless and perfect. DOX inks really deliver when it comes to blending. Gina K's grip mat is quite the bargain!
